Description

Capsular Polysaccharide Type 6, Actinobacillus Pleuropneumoniae CAS NO 119903-55-8 is a purified, high-molecular-weight carbohydrate antigen derived from the bacterial pathogen *Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae*. This compound is of critical importance for the development and quality control of veterinary vaccines and diagnostic reagents targeting porcine pleuropneumonia. It is primarily required by biopharmaceutical manufacturers, veterinary research institutions, and diagnostic kit producers focused on swine health and disease prevention.

Application

• Key Antigen for Veterinary Vaccine Formulation: Serves as a critical immunogenic component in subunit and conjugate vaccines against *Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae* serotype 6.
• Reference Standard for Immunoassays: Used as a calibrated standard in ELISA, latex agglutination, and other serological tests to detect specific antibodies in swine serum.
• Quality Control (QC) and Potency Testing: Employed by vaccine manufacturers for batch-to-batch consistency testing and to assess the immunogenic potency of final vaccine products.
• Research and Development: Essential for academic and industrial R&D focused on the pathogenesis, immunology, and novel therapeutic interventions for porcine respiratory diseases.
• Diagnostic Kit Production: A vital raw material in the manufacture of in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices for the specific and sensitive detection of APP serotype 6 infections.

Quality Control

Every batch of our Capsular Polysaccharide Type 6 is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems. We ensure compliance with relevant guidelines for biological starting materials. Comprehensive characterization includes tests for identity, purity, and specific immunochemical activity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications and test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and product integrity for your regulatory submissions.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store desiccated at -20°C or below. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
